Radio Knob Differences

Anyone know why these knobs are shorter? Are the year specific? Maybe off a van? Bought a radio and these were on it. Pics compared to another knob. Thanks

I think that those are 67 year knobs. Not sure about the length though.

Re: Radio Knob Differences

From what I’ve read the 67 knobs had ribs in the knobs but these are smooth.

Re: Radio Knob Differences

Those are 68-72 knobs. Not sure why the different lengths, I have seen both styles many times.

Re: Radio Knob Differences

I'm pretty sure the deeper knob is for a RPO NL2 auxiliary fuel tank switch. The shorter ones would be for the radio
